Chapter Five: Song Writer
After everybody got back to the apartment they all went to bed. The next day Taina and Conan had to go to school. Much to their dismay. They had to spend the whole day doing the evil multiplication tables. Today they were doing the 2's. (how exciting) Everyone was having fun doing them except Taina and Conan. They were supposed to be in high school. They'd heard all this so many times before they could do it backwards in their sleep.
"2 x 6 is 12. 2 x 7 is 14." The class recited together. Conan was hunched over on his desk he was so board.
"2 x I don't care!" He groaned.
"Mr. Edogawa you have to learn this with us." The teacher said. "It' really quite fun if you try it."
"I know, it really is fun." Conan replied.
cough "Yeah right." cough
Somehow on the way home in the school crowd Taina and Conan got separated. But they managed to tell each other to meet up at Dr. Augasa's.
When Conan got there he heard music and somebody singing. When he went in the music stopped.
"Dr. Augasa what was that music I heard?" Conan asked.
"Oh that was me." Taina said.
"Wow that was really good. I've never even heard those songs before." Conan said.
"Well that's only natural. Because I wrote them." Taina answered.
"What you wrote them?" Conan questioned.
"Yep. Before I got shrunk I was a singer and songwriter." Taina said.
"Really were you any good?" Conan asked.
"Yeah. I wrote songs for all the famous singers. What you heard before is a new song I'm working on for Tim McGraw. It's a tribute to his father who died. Do you want to hear it?" Taina asked.
"Well yeah. But how did his father die?" Conan asked.
"Brain cancer." Taina answered.
"Oh yes I heard about that. It was big news because not only was Tug a famous baseball players but his son Tim McGraw is considered one of the biggest country singers in the country." Dr. Augasa said.
"Yeah he's got the perfect voice for a lot of my songs. He's really nice. He's got a good heart. So does his wife, Faith." Taina said.
"Do you know him that well?" Conan asked.
"Yeah. Ya know his mom hid who his real dad was until Tim was 11 years old. He never suspected a thing. But then he found his birth certificate so she finally had to tell him. She didn't have a choice." Taina said.
"Oh really. Well maybe that was the best thing to do. Now let me hear that new song." Conan said and Taina said.
Live Like You Were Dying
He said I was in my early forties,
With a lot of life before me,
When a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
I spent most of the next days,
Looking at the x-rays.
Talking about the options, talking about sweet time.
I asked him when it sank in,
That this might really be the real end,
How's it get you when you get that kind of news.
And what you do and he said,
I went sky diving.
I went, rocky mountain climbing,
I went 2.7 seconds,
On a bull named Bo Man Chew.
And I love deeper.
And I, spoke sweeter,
And I, gave forgiveness I've been diening.
And he said some day I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dying.
He said I was finally the husband,
But most the time I wasn't.
And I became the friend a friend would like to have.
And all the sudden going fishing,
Wasn't such an imposition.
And I went 3 times that year,
I lost my dad.
Well I, finally read the good book,
And I, took a good long, hard look,
At what I'd do if I could do it all again,
And then,
I went sky diving.
I went rocky mountain climbing,
I went 2.7 seconds,
On a bull named Bo Man Chew,
And I love deeper,
And I spoke sweeter and I,
Gave forgiveness I've been diening,
And he said someday I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dying.
Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity to think about what you do with it.
What would you do with it,
What could you do with it,
What should I do with it?
Sky diving,
I went rocky mountain climbing,
I went 2.7 seconds,
On a bull named Bo Man Chew,
And I love deeper,
And I spoke sweeter and I,
Watched an eagle as it was flying.
And he said someday I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying,
To live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying.
Conan was in tears, as was Dr. Augasa.
"That's a best seller for sure." Conan said.
"I hope so." Taina replied.
